The ATF is running rampant. This is becoming ridiculous. They want to ban the import of shotguns that to them "have no sporting purposes". Of course this is ridiculous, they should only restrict the import of shotguns that would be ILLEGAL in the US. Many people choose a shotgun for home or self-defense. Why only limit us to American made brands?
I sent a simple email to their "study" on shotguns because they are apparently open to opinions. I hope they listen, as always the more contacts they receive the better. To email the ATF use this link: shotgunstudy@atf.gov
I do not believe it is necessary to deem a sporting purpose before allowing the import of a shotgun. I believe that any shotgun that would be legal in the US should be allowed to be imported. Many people use shotguns for home defense and often times foreign made guns are of higher quality. I hope for the ATF to broaden the language on sporting purpose to include instead all lawful purposes as this only seems logical.
